Review of Lost in America (1985) by Lucas M — 26 Jan 2012
Goodbye nest egg, hello hilarity. Just thought I was going to watch another boring film until I found this film title OK for me. And it's also funny - so yes, I did like what Albert Brooks made here.
As I watch out for a few references to Easy Rider, I find the acting performances very good, including that of a Julie Hagerty in another memorable role besides 'Airplane!' Stalled in his company's pecking order, ad man David Howard quits his job as he and his wife Linda sell their house and get 'Lost In America' in a Winnebago.
In their first road stop in Las Vegas, they accidentally lost their $145,000 nest egg. Good luck finding that kind of a story element in a great comedy like this.
